Hi, @ReaNMe !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

You can easily change the color schemes and apply them to your online store. In order to change your background color, you will want to head over to your Shopify admin, and select Online Store > Themes. From there, click Customize next to the theme that you want to customize. Then, click on Theme Settings > Colors, and update the desired sections.

I viewed your storefront and wanted to share some recommendations. Firstly, I suggest viewing The General Checklist as it’s great tool that will ensure that you have your Shopify store all set up. You can also view the Homepage Design 101 Blog to learn more about what you can include in your homepage to maximize interest. Finally. you will want to update your home navigation menu to include tabs of your different shop categories, as well as a Contact us, and About us page.

Kindly reply back to this thread with any questions or updates and we can continue our conversation further!

I don’t want to change the colour schemes, I want to change the main page background colour, I’m placing a photo here to explain it (the parts that are painted black) and the translation I used didn’t translate what you said properly, can you explain my mistakes one by one?
